Drat!
It's about post-its.
Speaking of which, I love the post it flag, the little arrows that take the place of underlining in library books, and even one's own books.
The little flags are a delight. A book with dozens of those throughout makes me feel smarter even when I'm clueless about what I've just read. Those are nice. I often use my business cards as bookmarks, but they don't always stay put. |

The post-its super stickies in different shapes are the best. Also, binder clips, rainbow-hued sharpies, page protector sleeves, file folders...
And I just found an amazing "notebook" that allows me to organize and contain my stacks of paper! It's like a plastic binder with six dividers, but it has no rings. I just open up a section and put a stack there, and then hold the whole thing closed with a big elastic. I did a search on staples.com, but I couldn't find the right combination of keywords to bring it up. Sorry, too much NyQuil.
An accordion folder, isn't it? Actually, search staples for "expanding file." |

An accordion folder, isn't it? No, no, this is only bound on one side, not three, and it opens all the way up like a regular binder. But close. Very close. |

I'm a complete, unabashed Levenger slut. I dream of having my entire life under control in Circa notebooks, written out with pretty pens, all beautifully clipped and marked and organized. Me too! I went to their store in Chicago while on vacation and could barely contain myself. Actually, I didn't contain myself. I spent hours touching every leather item, fingering the paper, caressing the binders. I had boxes of their stuff shipped home. I hide in the bathroom with each new catalog that arrives and I might as well just have my paycheck deposited at their headquarters. I'm hyperventilating just thinking about their new 3x5 "Notationary" pads. < closes eyes, rapturous> |

I love these kinds of notebooks ( http://www.rollabind.com/applications.htm). I found these at Staples, but other companies seem to make something similar. |

I'm north of the border at the moment -- does that mean I can legally marry my moleskine notebooks? the thin, slightly floppy full-sized kind? I glue interesting images to them so I can tell them apart (surely a recipe for a happy marriage (the telling them apart part, that is, not the gluing things to them, which might not work in some relationships)).
The Freud-bashers and Freud-defenders alike are to stay far, far away from my yearning for a slightly floppy but full-sized partner.
But this is the closest we have gotten to what the title advertised! Book stores with office supplies are like crack houses to me. A couple of weeks ago the guy I recently started dating and I went to two book stores in one trip, and he spent as much as I did. It is so hard to refrain from using the L word too early. |

I often use my business cards as bookmarks, but they don't always stay put. Post-It page markers - they're less expensive and easier to use than the flags. I live for them, as all of my relatives discovered when they were helping me pack: they emerged from my desk drawers, my pockets, my bags, my nightstand drawer... Also pens with rubber grips and binder clips. And, of course, we need to salute the truly indispensable item - the staple puller. So ordinary, yet so devastating if you don't actually have one. |

I find I enjoy shopping for post-its and the like more than actually possessing them. I'm almost sad that I have lots; no reason to go shopping! Folders, for me, are not the same.
I am on a quest (read: existential ransacking of all things stylitic) for the perfect red pen, however. One that won't break the bank, for preference. Any suggestions?

That organizer looks really useful for managing handouts and things for class.

But this is the closest we have gotten to what the title advertised! prephd has some binding bondage issues with an accordion folder, and psychdiva carresses binders. We left PG 13 behind a while ago. Add me to the Levenger addicts. They do things with 3X5 cards that set my pulse racing. |

My passion is for brand-new notebooks - I love how my favourite fountain pen sinks luxuriously into that well-padded first page. Mmmm ... sick, I know. Make sure there aren't any wrinkles in my strait-jacket :) |
